Link C://excel to H://excel
I work at a company that has offices in several different states, but we have
a common or public drive. Can I put an excel spreadsheet there, where our other offices can use and update it, and link it so it updates a spreadsheet on my C drive automatically or at least when I open it? Jean |
Link C://excel to H://excel
You can use formulas in the workbook on the C: that retrieve values from the
workbook on the H: drive. If you open both, you can select a cell in a worksheet from the H: drive workbook and edit|copy. Then select a cell on a worksheet from the C: drive workbook. Edit|paste special|Paste link You'll see syntax you have to use to retrieve those values. If you close the H: drive workbook, excel will adjust the formula to get the data from the closed workbook on the H: drive. ps. One hint: You may find yourself having better luck using the UNC path instead of the mapped drive letter: ='\\server\folder\folder\[book1.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1 instead of ='H:\folder\folder\[book1.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1 Jean wrote: I work at a company that has offices in several different states, but we have a common or public drive.
